Scarlet Widow One Shots

April Fools

Natasha's POV:

"Hey Babies! So today is April 1st, better known as April Fools day. You probably know what it is by now but today I'm pranking mommy!" I told one of the cameras I had set up around the house.

April Fools is a day for pranks, so I thought it'd be wise to pull a prank on Wanda. I set cameras up all around the house. One pointing at the front door, one in the kitchen, another in the bedroom and one in the living room. I had some solved S.H.I.E.L.D case files from the 70's, a few pens and a fake divorce papers, everything that needed to be signed was signed.

"You two are currently at Uncle Steve and Buck's house because they thought it'd be best to have you two over there just in case. She'll be getting home from the store any minute now, so enjoy the show..."

A few minutes later the doorbell went off and I got up from the couch in the living room to see who it was. To my surprise, it was Wanda.

"Hey baby, I forgot my house keys" she said as she entered, closing the door with her foot and carrying the bags to the kitchen, completely missing the papers on the living room table.

"Come here please" she asked.

I went over and she hugged me, I didn't return it though. This made her release me. When we met eyes she asked,"What's wrong?"

I shook my head and nodded over to the bags of groceries. The silence was nearly deafening as we unpacked the bags, every few seconds I'd catch her looking at me with furrow eyebrows.

Once we finished unpacking and packing away, she ran upstairs, probably in search for her two 1 year old babies.

After a bit of shuffling and running from upstairs, she sped down to the kitchen.

"Where are the kids? Did something happen? Answer me!" she frantically said as she paced around in worry.

"I didn't want them here for this..." I told her.

She looked up at me confused, "Here for what Natasha?"

I keep quite as I looked at her but this just made her angry.

"Nat we don't hide things from each other. What. Is. It?" she asked through gritted teeth.

"Go to the living room please"

She walked to the room next to us, I followed close behind her.

When she saw the paper she became even more confused. She looked back at me and I gestured to the chair opposite me.

Once she sat down, I quickly glanced at the hidden camera to make sure it was recording.

"So, there's something we should talk about..." I started.

"Okay" she replied

"I don't know if you've noticed but we haven't been the best since the twins were born," I continued. She didn't reply so I kept on speaking,"I love you Wanda, I genuinely do but I think we need to do something about this"

"Nat this I just how parents are in their first year, Pepper and Tony were worse" she stated.

"Still, we're with twin kids and I don't think we'll be able to solve any minor arguments we have in future, and I don't want our children to grow up to have two mothers who hate each other" I said, she sat up straight and started sniffing.

"Yes we can Tasha, please whatever it is you want to do, we can work it out. Let me make us better, please" she pleaded. It hurt me to see her like this but it's all a joke, the show must carry on....or something like that.

"No we can't Wanda. It's time we accept that and get a divorce" I said, looking away.

When I looked back at her she had her head in her hands and her back was moving up and down, telling me she was silently sobbing.

"I know you don't want this bu-"

"No!" she cut me off,"This isn't real, I refuse to believe you would do this!"

I gave her a fake sad smile and said," It is, I can't do this anymore Wanda. I need out"

This made her sob harder and look up at me with her red, tear filled eyes.

"I got my lawyers to draw up the papers, I already signed. You just need to add your signature"

Her eyes went a scarlet colour but I didn't look away from her.

"Was I not good enough for you?"

"You are more than enough. I just can't anymore"

"Are you taking the babies away from me?" She questioned through tears.

I shook my head and said,"Split custody, you get one week and I get the next"

She nodded and got up.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"To sleep" she replied.

"Do you not care about fighting for us?" I asked, real emotion started taking over.

"I will always want an us" she gestured between her and myself,"but if you want out then I'd never force you to stay. Plus you aren't taking the kids away permanently, so as hard as it is I'll accept it. Check your papers" she said before disappearing up the stairs.

I rushed back to the table and saw all the divorces papers signed, then realising it's why her eyes tuned red earlier.

I felt my own tears starting to burn in my eyes and my heart aching.

I ran upstairs to our bedroom and tried to own the door but it was locked. I pressed my ear to the door and heard her heart breaking sobs come through even though she tried to keep quiet.

I took a pin out of my pocket and started picking the lock, messing up at first because of my uncontrollable crying.

When the door was unlocked I opened it and found my wife sobbing underneath the covers. I rushed over to her and got under the blankets with her. I held her in my arms tried to get out an apology but my throat kept getting stuck on words," I-I'm so so sorry baby. It was a joke please please please forgive me. I would never divorce you or take out babies away from you just please forgive me. God I'm such an idiot baby, I'm sorry" I apologised as I sobbed.

She pushed me away from her and before I could react she slapped me across the face,"I hate you Natasha, but come here and comfort me please," she said.

I nodded and took her back into my arms, we eventually fell asleep when all the crying had gotten us exhausted.

When I woke up she was there staring up at the ceiling. "Please. Don't ever leave me?" She asked without looking at me.

I nodded and asked,"You forgive me?"

She nodded as well and turned her head to me," Never do this again" she commanded," also sorry for the slap earlier..."

I chuckled and replied," I deserved it, and I won't"

"I love you so much Tasha"

"And I love you more Wanda"
